Sum = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d] where a = first term, n = number of terms and d = common difference
(a) 30/2(2 x 5 + (30 - 1) x d) = 1455
10 + 29d = 1455 / 15
29d = 97 - 10
d = 87 / 29 = 3
(b) 7/2(2 x 9 + (7 - 1)d) = 0
18 + 6d = 0
6d = -18
d = -3
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The information on the graph is almost symmetrical, because the lines look almost the same length on both sides.
Difference of two squares is of the form (a + b)(a - b) or vice-versa. Here, a = -5x and b = 3.
(-5x - 3)(-5x + 3)
